SideBand
-
Indicates which sideband a dual sideband spectrum represents
- Description:
- This attribute indicates whether the DSBSpecFrame currently
represents its lower or upper sideband, or an offset from the local
oscillator frequency. When querying the current value, the returned
string is always one of "usb" (for upper sideband), "lsb" (for lower
sideband), or "lo" (for offset from the local oscillator frequency).
When setting a new value, any of the strings "lsb", "usb", "observed",
"image" or "lo" may be supplied (case insensitive). The "observed"
sideband is which ever sideband (upper or lower) contains the central
spectral position given by attribute DSBCentre, and the "image"
sideband is the other sideband. It is the sign of the IF attribute
which determines if the observed sideband is the upper or lower
sideband. The default value for SideBand is the observed sideband.
- Type:
- String.
- Class Applicability:
-
DSBSpecFrame
-
All DSBSpecFrames have this attribute.
